13DRA

Year 13 Drama

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Tourelle.

This course continues exploring and building skills from the Year 12 course and applies these to more mature and sophisticated material.  


It is a practical course comprised of three performance assessments.  First, students will use expressive skills in a scene from a play. These skills are then used to perform a character in a production of a play for an audience. In the last assessment, students will choose a concept they wish to explore as the basis for creating an original devised drama. 


All work is done in pairs or a group, so students are required to be in attendance for 90% of the classes to be eligible for assessment. 


In the external examination, students will discuss a live performance they have seen during the year. 




Recommended Prior Learning

Drama students need to enjoy group work and have a keen desire to perform. If students are new to Drama as a subject, entry will be at the discretion of the Head of Drama.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

Students will attend a theatre performance and have workshops with theatre professionals. ($40)
